    There's easily 2 feet of snow in the yard. I put on snowshoes and made a direct path to my nice neighbor's garage. No more even getting close to dumbass. Pretty much out of his line of sight too.

    Yes sir, sheathing with them is no problem if they're different widths. Have to be the same for siding though. Going to have a fine load of kindling from the cutoffs.

    Yes, apples, and whatever veggie scraps we have. They appreciate it.

    Badger is doing pretty well for getting the cancer prognosis 5 months ago. We were told he had 2-6 months to live with no chemotherapy. I don't see him slowing down any time soon.
    He has his 11th birthday on March 30th. Hayden turns 1 on March 29th, which is the same day that Badger's GF Cocoa the neighbor's English Springer Spaniel that we are helping to take care of turns 11 yrs old. So the dog birthday cake will get extra mileage this year.
    We always bring Cocoa a piece of doggie birthday cake any time out pups have birthdays.

    More snow coming tomorrow, 4-7” last I checked.... So today I prepared by moving the piles lining the sides of my driveway further out, giving me more room for what’s to come. The property to the left of mine is owned by the city water department and all that’s there is a pump house to help pump the water way up the hill to a big subdivision. I tossed quite a bit of my snow over the chain link fence onto that side. Hey don’t judge, I need room! I have a snowblower, not a plow to push these massive piles way into my backyard. I remember hoping in the fall for a real winter and boy we’re getting one.

    Thank you! They are our family. We plan trips and vacations around them even.:)

    That snowshoeing was great exercise too. I just hope that the snow sets up nice between now and Tuesday afternoon so that walking in snow boots on the path won't have me or my wife sinking into the snow.

    Nope. Dad has one that grandfather gave him, but bringing the planks there would cause as much inconvenience as it'd save. Just using my jigsaw.

    Melanoma on one of his gums. They removed the mass, and we believe they did a great job as it has not regrown as they thought it might. I think the surgeon got most if not all of the cancer. He started having absolutely horrible breath last summer, then you could see the lump push his cheek out a little.

    I hope I never smell that smell again. It's unmistakable. Apparently that's one of the signs.

    I love to read, but cannot do audio books. I tried them years ago figuring I would fill in time on my 45 minute commutes. But, I guess I can only concentrate on one thing at a time - driving or listening. Fortunately for the rest of the world, I defaulted to driving.
